four or five little children essentially preschool kids were killed in the middle of the night but bombs launched by aircraft from forty thousand feet that is a very cowardly way to wage war so we're in the midst now of international and are certainly countries like russia would be very well advised to do something urgently to try to restore the rule of international law and that would mean. more energetic measures against what the united states britain and france are doing. invest in genesis website tempi talking it to off their japanese one on the way or and also some ladies you wouldn't want to mess with. as it turns out arm wrestling is not just for the guys here in russia's north caucuses more and more women are getting into the act and we managed to wrestle the secrets of some of this poorest superwomen. live in panetta has been sworn in as the new

the united states strategic overreach all across the globe and somehow i have a hunch in his upcoming memoirs robert gates will explain his one unfinished dream that is to finish the job he initiated in his previous capacity as the cia chief when he opened up a pound or a box of extremism in pakistan and in afghanistan only to be called back to duty almost thirty years later to eradicate the evidence which he's so carefully rared and groomed in his previous capacity as the cia chief. gives everyone a chance to play that part in anything dory it's been a communication revolution encouraging mass uprising in some countries i'm causing controversy in others with the bloc if that's the step. in new york at the sidewalk

people that think the things that weapons. in today's social media driven world you can post whatever hate speech doctored photos or other nonsense you want with virtually no consequences how do you feel about that defining our times this week let's talk about that i was as still king a guy on facebook once and by mistake instead of rising his name into the search i put as my status was all good i knew how to meet these things very quickly having everybody to already see did you learn your lesson yeah yeah people just pretty thing on here young girls young kids you know home addresses and everything like that i got a nice. open approach is that. people see what you show them not what you actually are in my experience and if you put something on the internet people will watch and think that she says that she will like you know when when people could be sitting at home doing nothing for a whole weekend they might just make things up just to make themselves more

interesting a lot of people tend toward being snotty or rude and they've been taught through television and other media that that's that's the new cool yet there's a shift in our culture going on but adult battle change as people start to understand that they end result of that is isolate you isolate yourself when you do that kind of stuff we need to be center of attention as the world just become a giant high school yeah i would say yes we are all it's just a big giant oh a high school we all hated it so why do we want to live it every day that's a good question that's a good question and it's almost even in the more middle school that's sort of mean girl kind of thing and i think even adults get into the bullying which is kind of sad but do you think that as we grow as a society people will get smarter about what to post or will it just get worse and worse i think people always be people you're going to have people that are smart you can have people that are not and i think they always be fruitcakes that put

things on they that is just unhelpful and home. regardless of how you feel about the pitfalls of social media the bottom line is it's probably going to get a lot worse before it gets better if it ever. rushes caucasus region is known for its outstanding male wrestlers but now the local women a hot on the hills pumping iron in the gym and testing their limits to the max of the art of arm wrestling some of these ladies have become a force be reckoned with it has a lot of within a quarter of a finds out that to become international stars. there is little clue as to why this quite corner of russia and the north caucasus hide such a powerful secret because his hand that we find perhaps some of the strongest women in the country but they're hoping their arm wrestling talents will one day be shared with the world in the olympic arena. i'll be no cell of

a began wrestling in one thousand nine hundred ninety four but now she's clearly a super woman with town world and fourteen year old gold medals born in a small village in the mountains she says that she has achieved everything she wished for and now it's time for a younger generation to follow in her winning footsteps i've been his biggest concern though is that the support doesn't get the recognition she feels it deserves sometimes we simply don't have money to go to the championships after training so hard young girls are losing the stimulus to continue when they hear that there is no chance for them to go unless they collect the money themselves one thing that might change that would be if the sport was made part of their limpy games bringing more attention and financing competitive organize matches began in california in one thousand nine hundred fifty two and soon gained real popularity arm wrestling as one of the most peaceful calm the diverse poor that actually doesn't require any special equipment and people of all ages have

a real chance of. if i did something quite simple there. in time. that anyone has a chance of winning right now i'm going to check it for myself was it was. oh it's certainly easy time. standing hours at the gym i've been as trainee elisa says she doesn't know if she'll ever have enough money to go to the championships but she never loses hope. maybe it is an incorrect comparison but sport is like a swamp for me once you get into there's simply no turning back i try to stop but i can't live without it and i will continue hoping that one day he will be recognised by the public. it seems like kook asian women are following hard on the successful heels of their man who take many of the world's models in almost all types of wrestling and with girls' hair seemingly determined to break the stereotypes we

could soon see more and more high hills making their way into the wrestling arenas . the republic of north. time now to check on some other world news in brief this hour on the syrian president to keer fishel laughter fridays and the regime demonstrations believed to have been the biggest but our last hours signed a decree removing the governor of the central city of hama from office tens of thousands to the streets nationwide rejecting ourselves promises of reform and demanding an end to his all for tarion rule say the government crackdown which began in mid march has claimed almost fifteen hundred lives. but these thirteen members of a family died when a roadside bomb struck their minibus in southern afghanistan the group including two children were thought to be afghan refugees returning from pakistan through the volatile border area roadside bombs planted by taliban the militants are commonly

positive and not everyone could have such patience patience is very important in tennis because if i've always liked her even when i was very young i started playing because i wanted to be like her and now the girl are telling me i'm playing like her god no i think i find very strong inspiration from how i really like the way she plays she has very good technique she always fights until the end and never gives up one thing nobody can ignore about cheer up over. that brute or scream or whatever it is we decided to sample some of russia's future grunting talent become a complete. it. thank you if one of the stars this club has turned out is catarina pool she was ranked eighty years in world under eighteen

rankings but she forced her career in russian children out of has been in america too she was seven doesn't lessen her inspirational appeal but she's right she is rushing for help still you need. to keep working harder i might have to put in a few more hours myself. ok so i probably couldn't even beat these kids at a game of tennis but that's because they're out here every day practicing driven on by heroes like maria sharapova well maybe because i haven't mastered the all important run. up. from boston that squealing away for aussie in moscow now the star studded international film festival in moscow was heading for a city to be dramatic climax and the winner of the best film has just been announced let's cross live to pay for all of the hands out the ceremony for a second of all the glitz and glamour of pieces
